Teaching hitting Carrier/Bustos approach

[straightleg]

That would be for him to say. I was classless in making that comment.

I did not think that. Carrier was my guru. RIP

Here is a 6th grader, plays PGF tournaments. She is number 1 or 2 on every team she plays for. She plays at the highest level

Nice swings, some inhibitors in this video IMO are forward torso at contact and I believe she stays back at contact. The other thing I believe is helpful to me is that I never evaluate a swing unless it’s against live pitching or a random pitching machine. By random, I mean, a machine that throws a different pitch every time, without the hitter knowing what’s coming. Same thing with a live pitcher.

I think she has a little of the torso forward due to where the ball is tossed. I like the swing! It’s pretty tight. I like the front foot synced with the upper stretch rearwards. If she can duplicate this swing live she’s gonna be really good.

Are you saying that you like her front foot synced with the upper stretch rearwards, before or after contact?

Before. She does have a bit of “launch forward” in her.

That really doesn’t answer my question.

I use the iPad to get a good side view of the hitter and the pitchers delivery in games. You need the entire story and timing the pitcher is Very important.

My guru is Hank Aaron,

This is geared at a swing flaw, although it’s what Hank said in his book.



The coiled spring is not creating separation.

 

[Shawn]

There are many ways to use the body to swing a bat.

This sounds like a fun game
